Celta - Juventus team news and expert analysis
The Vigo club reached the Europa League playoffs last season. At the same time, they still climbed to sixth place in La Liga. This season, they finally secured their first win in the seventh round. After the break, they could only draw 0-0 with Elche.
Despite changing their coach, the Turin giants endured a disastrous 2025/2026 campaign, finishing sixth in Serie A. They have already dropped points a couple of times this season as well, even losing to Sassuolo. In the latest round, they managed only a 1-1 draw with Cagliari.
The Spaniards disappointed in European competition. Despite enjoying a clear advantage, they failed to score away against Omonia. They then conceded in the 88th minute and ultimately lost the game. The Italians, meanwhile, put on a show against NEC, scoring five unanswered goals against the Dutch side.
